NHL Draft - ProspectsDiscuss hockey prospects from all over the world and the NHL Draft.

Reilly definitely wasnt ready this season and he might need a few more until I am comfortable with him playing the regular shift on our team. He needs to start being physical in his back end and that will take some time to develop.

He also needs to get his shot power and top speed up.

But otherwise, I think he will be an elite talent offensively. The way he can regularily cause chaos and break apart the opposing team's structure in the offensive zone is awesome and is a trait only a few players have.

March 15th is the last game for the Moose Jaw Warriors, assuming they don't make the playoffs. He can then join the Marlies for the last 20 games or so of the AHL regular season and then the playoffs. Hopefully that will get him some great experience and will lead to a 2013-2014 NHL debut.

This is what I'm excited for. I'm wondering if Toronto's management spoke with the owner/GM of Moose Jaw and offered some sort of 'donation' or financial reward for Moose Jaw retaining Rielly so that he can go to the AHL after the junior season ends. Since they won't make the playoffs he'll get plenty of time to get experience for the Marlies and hopefully he'll get to be a major piece of a playoff run. 15-18 regular season games + some additional playoff games would be great experience for Morgan. I hope this is what happens.

Liles can't skate like Rielly at all. Skating can set players far apart, you know this.

Liles is a really good skater. Rielly maybe more dynamic in his initial strides, but I don't think he's that much higher than Liles in skating. I'd say what sets Rielly apart is his decision-making on the powerplay, on the rush as well as his vision.

Take my opinion with some skepticism with my limited viewings but my opinion is prolly no better than the guy who said he looks like Liles, but one thing I noticed is when Rielly has the puck, even when he is moving full speed, he is thinking about all his options and is dissecting the play. It's like despite the speed he's moving at, the play is going just slow enough for him to make the right decision with the puck, whether its passing for a give and go or taking it up by himself..

Liles hasn't really shown that, atleast not for the past year I've seen him. But skating and getting up in the rush is somewhat similar

Interesting.

If this did not happen they gave up a huge chance to get something for their best asset in quite sometime though.
